  1. In astrology, your Sun sign represents your core personality and ego, while your Moon sign represents your inner emotions, intuition, and memories. Because their Aries Sun is associated with taking action while their Capricorn Moon is a sign of caution and diligence, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals tend to be a balance between the two signs. They channel their considerable energy into practical things like hard work and realizing their many ambitions.
    • Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of energy, action, aggression, and desire.
    • Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of rules, responsibility, and authority.
    • Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives are influenced by both signs; their Aries Sun gives them passion, energy, and drive, while their Capricorn Moon fuels their ambition and sense of responsibility.

  1. Aries and Capricorn are both naturally ambitious signs that value career and financial success, so people with an Aries Sun and Capricorn Moon placement tend to be driven, goal-oriented, and highly capable. To them, success isn’t an obligation; it’s a challenge, and they’re eager to accept it. They dream of proving themselves, and once they set a goal , they always follow through and achieve it.
    • Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals sometimes have workaholic tendencies and they can be hard on themselves and self-critical because they have such high standards.
    • They may suffer from anxiety or insecurity, especially if they feel like their path to success is being watched (and judged) by other people.
    • If you’re an Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon, remember that success is subjective; there’s no “correct” path to it, and you don’t need to conform to other people’s expectations.
    • Cut yourself some slack and relax sometimes! Your ambition and work ethic are admirable, but you’ll work even better when you feel happy, healthy, and rested.
  2. Because Aries is ruled by the planet of action, they’re super energetic and enthusiastic—and so are Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals. Their passion for working hard, finding success, and taking on new projects is motivated by their energy, and they have enough energy to see any project through from start to finish. [1]
    • Aries also dislikes routines and monotony, so Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals have some of that curious, adventurous energy. They yearn to experience as much as possible and live life to the fullest.
  3. Capricorn is ruled by the planet of responsibility, so even though Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals are curious and enthusiastic, they also have a mature view of responsibility and accountability. They understand how important it is to follow through on commitments and keep their word, and their sense of duty pushes them to be successful and make the most of their ambition. [2]
    • Because Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives are so responsible, they’re always ready to face any challenge—especially with encouragement from the people around them.
    • The conflicting energy of Aries and Capricorn can leave these individuals feeling at odds with themselves sometimes.
    • Nevertheless, because they have such a responsible attitude, they’ll never back out of their obligations, no matter how turbulent life gets.
  4. Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals are a blend of passion (from Aries) and practicality (from Capricorn). They tend to think logically and practically due to their Capricorn Moon; although they love to daydream and philosophize, they tend to focus more on the “how” than the “why.” In other words, they’re always thinking about the best way to get things done and what goals to pursue next on their path to success. [3]
    • Additionally, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives have high standards and want quality in all areas of their lives, from work to romantic relationships.
    • Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon often tries to acquire status symbols (like high-ranking job titles, a pricey car, or influential connections) to add to their success.
  5. Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals are influenced by confident Aries and strong-willed Capricorn—both cardinal signs. Cardinal signs are the zodiac’s “instigators,” ready to create change, make things happen, and develop new ideas. So, since Aries and Capricorn are both cardinal signs, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals tend to be highly assertive leaders . [4]
    • Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives have no problem taking control of a situation or taking the lead on projects.
    • They tend to be respectable leaders with a practical yet understanding and generous mindset.

  1. Aries signs are energetic and love adventure and fun; they need to keep moving constantly, and they look for partners who can keep up with them. [5] Thus, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals have Aries’ thirst for excitement. They also tend to get bored easily and are often happiest in relationships where they can be spontaneous and try all kinds of new things.
    • Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals also tend to have hot tempers (since Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of energy and aggression) and prefer action over talking.
    • If you’re interested in an Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon, try inviting them on a spontaneous weekend getaway or doing adventurous outdoor activities with them (like hiking, biking, or camping).
  2. Aries and Capricorn both value honesty and prefer not to mince words. Therefore, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives tend to be straightforward people; if they like someone, they’ll come out and say it! They’ll also be solid, trustworthy partners. While Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals aren’t the most gentle or romantic, they’re incredibly passionate and reliable.
    • If you’re interested in an Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon, be honest with them in return. They don’t like playing games when it comes to love; they want to know how you genuinely feel.
    • Since Aries and Capricorn are both natural leaders, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives are happy to take the lead in relationships. They have no problem making the first move and tend to be dominant in the bedroom.
  3. Capricorn is a stable, down-to-earth sign; thus, Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon individuals are usually more interested in finding a life partner than a fling. They tend to be possessive, so their partner’s loyalty is super important to them—and they make devoted partners in return. They also have traditional values and usually aim to get married, settle down, and even start a family with their significant other. [6]
    • Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon natives also value independent partners. Aries and Capricorn are extremely self-sufficient, so an Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon may need “alone time” (and a partner who can understand their needs).
    • If you’re interested in an Aries Sun-Capricorn Moon, impress them by maintaining your independence and respecting theirs. Beyond that, ensure you’re ready for a committed relationship, because that’s what they want!

What are Capricorn moons like?

Hi all, I'm curious about what characteristics are typical of a Capricorn moon. I feel like I know a lot about sun signs but when it comes to moons I'm still learning!

As a Capricorn moon I can say that we are really good at hiding our emotions and even come off cold and clinical sometimes, but that doesn't mean we don't experience feelings underneath the surface. We just have a hard time expressing ourselves and don't like to be vulnerable. We want to come off cool and composed and in control so we don't get taken advantage of or thought of as weak. We're also known for being very driven and ambitious or even cutthroat. We can also be rather blunt at times and struggle to be sensitive to the feelings of others (not saying that's OK, but that we can struggle with it!).

My boyfriend is a capricorn moon and some of his strengths are that he's practical and hard-working. He's able to get anything done if he puts his mind to it. But I think those traits also came with some negatives. Sometimes he's so practical that he's less sensitive to my feelings than I'd like him to be. And sometimes when he works hard he gets really critical of himself and it's hard to see him beat himself up.
